The trend of the season, and one that has come back again and again is the ‘cat eye’ of the 1950s and ’60s. It’s definitely one achievable on your own. If you’re not confident about applying make-up, the secret to any eye liner application is to draw the lines first, and then clean them up to look the way you want. Draw the lines first- using a long-bristle paint-brush style eyeliner brush – and then go over them again for extra drama. use a fine-pint cotton bud to clean up the lines and create the desired look that suits you best. Just keep practicing!

My favourite eyeliner gel is Mac’s fFuidline Blacktrack gel eyeliner, which I find to be ultra-smooth and easy to apply, as well as long-wearing and smudge-proof.

Sometimes fast trumps stylish when it comes to your hair but I’ve got a few tips to help you achieve both!

Ease up on the shampooing. There’s no need to wash your hair every day, and doing so is likely to strip your hair of its natural oils and cause damage. A bit of natural oil in your hair helps your ponytail look sleek. If you hair seems a little too oily, but your strapped for time, try using hair spray, gel or dry shampoo. Spray it in, brush it out and you’re instantly given style and volume. Try your best to last 3-4 days in between washes.

Vary your ponytail. There are so many ways to make a ponytail: high, low, side, messy – whatever look suits you best or that occasion. Accessorise your ponytail for a finished look, clip a bit of bling or flower next to the elastic you used to make the ponytail.
